Re: avoid login prepopulation from browser cache

The Woodstock head tag currently outputs meta tags in an attempt to
handle this sort of thing. Unfortunately, they do not work well and the
meta attribute shall be deprecated. Using meta tags and pragma headers
are not very effective because they are only honored by a few browsers.
For more information, see http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs. Specifically,
see the FAQ about "My pages are password-protected; how do proxy caches
deal with them?"
